Fantastic Tames Season 1: Burrowbuck is now live!

• Meet the Burrowbuck, a swift and evasive utility creature perfect for mastering map control, misdirection, and brilliant ambushes! Carve out hidden, bunker-like underground dens and open temporary gateway tunnels for rapid long-distance travel, giving prepared Survivors new ways to reposition, retreat, or spring a trap. When danger closes in, the Burrowbuck can kick up disorienting dust clouds and leave behind concealed hazards for enemies reckless enough to follow.

• The Burrowbuck has been added to:

  • The Center

  • Scorched Earth

  • Aberration

  • Ragnarok

  • Extinction

  • Valguero

  • Astraeos
